TRISTRAM D. BROWN, OF OANANDAIGUA, NEW YORK.

PAIL, PAN, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 534,546, dated February19, 1 895.

Application filed July 6, 1894.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, TRISTRAM D. BROWN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Carlandaigua, in the county of Ontario and State of NewYork, have invented a certain new, useful, and valuable Improvement inPails, Pans, &c., of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention relates to an improvement in wash-boilers, pans, pails,850., having zinc strips to prevent the formation of rust, and it isespecially an improvement on the device covered by United States PatentNo. 480,555, issued to me August 9, 1892.

The object of this invention is to secure said strip to the sides of thepan or boiler so that it will not become loosened or deranged byconstant usage and at the same time avoid impairing the pan or vessel,by cutting the body portion thereof; and further said strip is securedinplace without the use of solder.

The invention consists of a vessel having its sides made full and thusprovided with a clamp adapted to hold the zinc, as hereinafterdescribed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figures 1 and 2, are sectional views of myinvention showing the zinc securedin place. Fig. 3, is a perspectiveview of the clamp and strip of zinc. Fig. 4, is a transverse sectionalview of the clamp and strip locked therein.

The side or bottom of the vessel is made full and the slack thus formedis taken up by pressing the side or bottom up and within the vessel, andforming the fold 1. the parallel flanges 2, 2.

Said fold has The strip of zinc 3,

Serial No. 516,747- (No model.)

is then shaped to fit over the fold, and the edges 4, 4, are adapted torest under the flanges 2, 2. The folds, flanges and edges, are thenpressed together as'closely as possible, (see Figs. 1, 2, and 4,) andthus the strip is firmly secured in place without using solder. Theadvantages gained by thus securing the strip are; that-more of thesurface of the zinc is exposed than in any other similar device notusing solder, and the zinc is held more firmly in place than in anyother similar device; and that the body portion of the vessel is not cutto put the strip in place, thus preserving the full integrity of thearticle and avoiding all danger of leakage or loosening of the parts byreason of the attachment of the zinc.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is 7 As an improved article of manufacture a vesselhaving a full side formed with a simple fold pressed up within thevessel, said fold having clamping flanges; a zinc strip adapted to fitover and cover the fold and flanges and having bent edges adapted topass under the clamping flanges of the fold; said clamping flangesadapted to impinge the edges of the strip firmly against the side of thevessel, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

TRTSTRAM D. BROWN.
